Actually, djbdns does TCP and AXFR perfectly well, albeit using a
separate program from the one that handles UDP queries.  I swapped
secondaries with a BIND site for over a decade using its AXFR, perked
up with a little perl script that looked at the SOAs to limit the
useless AXFRs.

It doesn't do EDNS0 or DNSSEC, partly because Dan is stubborn, but
mostly because it's been abandonware for almost 20 years.  I patched
for a while but gave up and switched to unbound and nsd.

R's,
